So this thread - which was set to be opened for rollout to the pad on Monday - may remain locked for a little longer!

Starship SN9 falls into the High Bay walls after its aft supports fail. No one was injured in the mishap and damage appears to be minimal. Crews continue to clean up SN8's wreckage after its hard landing in the final seconds of the 12.5KM flight.

 SN9's ride to the top of the launch stand is on it's way.
 I'm not sure how much the crane weighs, but there are 200 tons of counterweights with it.

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

Tankzilla is now at the launch site at SpaceX Boca Chica. Hopefully, we will see Starship SN9 roll to the pad within the next few days. 🏗🤩🚀

The massive LR1600/2 crane rolled to the Launch Site on Monday, ready to receive Starship SN9 in the coming days. "Tankzilla" will lift SN9 on to the launch mount.
